Analytics Engineer II

Summary

Builds and maintains scalable data models, pipelines, and semantic layers to bridge data engineering and analytics, ensuring reliable insights during a platform migration.

We're looking for a technically versatile Analytics Engineer to sit at the intersection of data engineering and data analysis — To bridge the gap between Data Engineers and Data Analysts by transforming complex data into accessible, reliable and performant data models and insights that drive decision-making across the organisation. You'll collaborate with stakeholders to understand analytical needs, partner with Data Architects and Data Modellers to design scalable models, and build the efficient, reproducible data assets — including data models and marts, semantic layers and working environments — along with the transformations and pipelines that let analysts deliver insights with speed, consistency and minimal frictionat a time when both worlds are running side by side. The team is migrating to a modernised data platform while keeping the legacy environment live. You'll make sure the data stays clean, reliable and accessible across both — and that no one on either side of the transition feels the friction.

What you\'ll do

  • Build scalable data models, marts and semantic layers
  • Design reproducible transformations and pipelines across legacy and modernised environments
  • Partner with Data Architects and Data Modellers to align on enterprise data strategy
  • Maintain data quality and governance standards throughout the migration
  • Productionise reports using engineering principles
  • Work with CI/CD pipelines, testing frameworks and orchestration tools like Airflow3
  • Use AI tools — including Copilot and Claude — as active partners in your work

Minimum Experience

  • Honours degree in an analytics/engineering or STEM or related field, PLUS at least 5yrs relevant experience OR
  • Bachelor’s degree in an analytics or STEM or related field, PLUS at least 8yrs relevant experience OR

  • Proven track record of delivering scalable data solutions and leading projects
  • Experience with high-volume data environments
  • Experience with CI/CD, testing frameworks and orchestration tools (e.g., Airflow)
  • Experience productionising reports using engineering principles

Qualifications (Minimum)

  • Bachelor\'s Degree in Analytical/Data/Technical or Other

Qualifications (Ideal or Preferred)

  • Honours Degree in Analytical/Data/Technical or Engineering - Other

Knowledge

  • Advanced grasp of:
  • Data modelling best practices.
  • Data governance and quality assurance.
  • Cloud data platforms and orchestration tools (e.g., Airflow, Prefect).
  • Understanding of software engineering principles (e.g., CI/CD, testing).

Conditions of Employment

  • Clear criminal and credit record
